aria

Oh you lovers of the insides of phones, today is one of those good days. Good days for the HTC involved, that is, as several phones have had their Android source codes released via HTC's Developer Center per their agreement that they'll do so no matter what they're doing with Android, an open-source project. The phones on the block to be chopped and screwed are the myTouch 4G, Desire Z, Aria, and Desire HD. If you're a fan of any of those, we're looking at you myTouch 4G fans, we encourage you to explore the code and bring the community some lovely tidbits that we might feast upon them with joy.

Oh, physical buttons - I thought you were dead. Call/End buttons haven't been around since the early days of Android (think G1, HTC Hero), and it looks like HTC plans on bringing them back in a new mid-range device.

Sense 2.2 is an extremely popular version of HTC Sense. However, as we all know, it's not available officially for all devices. Enter the XDA developers community- Sense 2.2 has now been leaked for the HTC Aria, Liberty,and Gratia.

Bad news seems to be everywhere right now, whether it's about Milestone perhaps not getting Froyo and now. If you are big fan of the Aria from AT&T then you probably know that the carrier has crippled the phone so that you cannot download applications from third parties; simply put, from nowhere other than the Android Market. You can see in the picture below that the option is not even present, since AT&T has taken it out completely.

Although this handset just hit AT&T stores, it’s already up for sale. New customers can now head to Dell’s online store and purchase the Aria for free. This offer also includes free shipping and free activation.

First it was the Aria then the Liberty now the Intruder could be making its way to AT&T. Are these 3 HTC devices the same? Nobody knows at this point, AT&T could be on an all out Android assault now that they are done with the iPhone presentation.
